Dean passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on December 16, 2025, at the Victoria General Hospital. Born in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Dean is predeceased by her beloved husband Keith and will be remembered by her sons Geoffrey (Denise) and Christopher, brothers Rick (Marianne) and Bob (Penny), and grandchildren Ethan, Ava, Joel, and Miles.
Understated, but always fun, Dean was dedicated to family and a wonderful, caring friend. A more selfless person you will never meet. The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Dean’s close friends for their support and kindness throughout her brief illness, and to thank the incredible team at the Victoria General Hospital Intensive Care Unit for their incredible expertise, caring, and compassion.
No service by request.

I’m was sorry to hear of Dean’s passing. I am a health care practitioner and cared for both Keith and Dean. When Dean came in for treatment, she seemed genuinely interested in my health and well being, and sometimes I wondered who was actually treating who. She spoke so fondly of her children and grandchildren. She was a special woman and she will be missed. My condolences to the family.
Christine and I were saddened to hear of Dean’s sudden death. We have wonderful memories of hanging out with her and Keith, especially as part of the rugby parents crowd!
We will miss them both and send our heartfelt condolences to Geoff and Chris and their family and friends.
As a longtime friend of Geoff, Dean always showed up the same way. Welcoming, loyal, caring and forgiving. She was so selfless and fun to spend time with. I will always be deeply grateful how she helped my family and I adjust to what initially felt like a very strange new city and school. May she rest in peace reunited with Keith. My deepest condolences to her family and many friends.
To Dean’s family and the whole Homer clan I send you my deepest condolences.
I too spent many happy times throughout my life, first with Keith, then with Keith and Dean, she was kind, funny, loving, and possessed an inner strength that stood her so well in later years.
Keith and Dean, both my heroes! It was hard indeed when Keith passed, and now Dean has gone to be with him. A love story for the ages.
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dean’s sudden passing. I shared many happy times with Dean over my adult life and will miss her. My deepest condolences to Geoff and Chris and their families as well as all the Homer clan.
